I have sorted out my purchase and have a NIB 20ga Milano on its way.

I would like to thank everyone for passing along their advice and experiences, it was appreciated.

Looking forward to trying out my new o/u.

Will try to post some pics when I get it.

Thanks again.

I happened to buy a 20 gauge Milano last week for tikybear here.
The Milano is a FAIR built gun, and the equivalent to their LX600.
I shot 4 rounds of low gun skeet with it yesterday yesterday , and it handles great!
Double beads, nice tight action ( the gun was NIB) , three chokes, ejectors, single selective trigger that has a nice crisp let off, all in all a wonderfully light field gun.
The only downside for me is the high glass finish, but that is nothing that can't be fixed quickly.

I would buy another in a heartbeat if I could get a deal on it like Ii did with this one - don't know what I'd do with it , mind you, but I have a hard time turning down a good deal!!

Just wondering how you fix it?

Not sure if the high gloss is going to do it for me either. I am more of a satin/oil finished look kinda guy.

There is a product out the called rottenstone.
Follow the directions and you will end up with a nice satin finish!
